Answer to Question 1

A
The normal hematocrit range for a female is 38 to 47, for a male is 40 to 54.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should explain to the elderly client that a daily bath reduces the possibility of infection. Although restoring cleanliness is the primary objective, bathing has several other benefits such as stimulating circulation, providing a refreshed and relaxed feeling, and improving self-image. Bathing does not necessarily prevent skin from peeling or maintain core body temperature.
